“Everything has been taken care of?" Peter asked when he saw Nicholas walking back to where he was sitting. He watched his son take his seat with a slight frown on his face.“Yes, it has. Turns out that the whole situation was because Miss Carter bumped into her younger sister by mistake." Nicholas replied after taking his seat next to his father. He felt that wasn't reason for Mark to push and pour wine over Eva, plus even slapping her across her face. He felt extremely annoyed when he saw how red the side of Eva's face was, that was the lady that had willingly rendered her help to his son without expecting something in return.“What a stupid dimwit is , the heir of the Johnson family. Causing a scene at my party all for a useless reason! However, I noticed Damien Cross' appearance and it seemed like he has a relationship with Miss Carter? I never knew that Miss Carter is well connected to Damien Cross. “ Peter remarked, he didn't mind if people were going to hear him as he insulted M
Mark frowned when you heard Nicholas' words. He clenched his hand into a tight fist as he stared at Nicholas. He knew welm about the fact that Nicholas disliked him and it was other than Eva's fault because she was the one that made him make a bad impression in front of Nicholas. “I'm sorry for what happened, but this was all my fault because Mark was just trying to protect me." Christine suddenly spoke up, defending Mark immediately when she heard Nicholas. Nicholas stared at Christine for a brief seconds before he spoke up. “ Does it look like I care if your fiance is trying to protect you or not? I only care about the fact that your fiance nearly ruined my father's birthday banquet all for a stupid reason.” Nicholas was extremely cold and dark making Christine take a step back unconsciously. Upon seeing that Christine was being overwhelmed by Nicholas' questions and words, Mark held Christine's hand before looking at Nicholas. “I understand where you are coming from, Mr. Grason
Damien used his long legs to his advantage and closed the distance between them and the black Bentley Bentayaga that was already waiting for him.Ray was completely stunned to see a beautiful woman in the arms of his master. His boss has never carried someone intimately before. He quickly claimed down out of the car to hold the door open for them.“To the nearest hospital now!" Damien ordered, immediately after after Ray entered the car. At this moment, he cared less if his driver would brake the speeding law. He didn't mind the endless ticket that might pile up from the car ride. Right now he only cared about Eva, whose breathing was heart wrenching slow.Every few seconds through out the ride, she would let out a moan of pain and the quiet noise was enough to cause prickling pain to his heart. Despite him having an expressionless look on his face, he clenched his jaw tightly and couldn't help but internally blame himself for not carefully watching over her properly.‘ How could I be
“Can you remember what she had consumed within the past three hours?” The doctor questioned, gently flipping to a page on his tabloid. “No," Damien curtly answered, staring at Eva's face.“I see. Well, according to the treatment required that we gave her, we discovered unknown certain drugs and bacteria were found in her system. The sudden occurrence of high levels of bacteria attacking her immune system might've overworked her body. The drugs found were also used as an overdose. I mean to say that one pill of that drug is considered an overdose because of the chemicals in one pill and without being monitored under medical expertise it could be highly dangerous to take these drugs alone. Plus, we didn't just find one of these drugs in her system but three pills in her system which are on a whole different level of dangerous. If she was an hour late before being brought to the hospital, she might be in a critical condition because the drugs would have circulated throughout her body by
“That will be all for now so I will be taking my leave. I will order the nurse to come back and take care of the lady." The doctor announced.Damien didn't say anything and just nodded his head before the doctor stepped out of the room. "Nightmares? Little kitten, what could be making you have nightmares? “ Damien muttered under his breath as he touched Eva's forehead with his finger . He knew it wasn't due to working late that was making her not get any sleep since she was currently jobless, so the only other opinion was her having nightmares like the doctor had said.Damien stared at Eva for a few more minutes before pulling out his cellphone.Shane, who was halfway done with the task that Damien ordered him to do, heard his phone buzzing again. He let out a groan and nearly banged his head against the laptop in front of him.(Demon king: Go through all the security cameras and see who placed something into Eva's drink. She is in a blue dress.) Shane sighed after reading the message
“No, we're not." Damien coldly replied in a dry tone. He opened the takeout boxes and placed them onto a portable table. Eva arched an eyebrow, taken aback by surprise when he placed the tiny table onto her laps so that she can eat while in bed. She stared at him like he had instantly grown five additional heads when Damien handed her a wet wipes and utensil. Why was he being so nice to her? She thought he wanted her dead. Or is this the final phrase? Is he planning to poison her to death? Eva knew that she was being optimistic at the moment. But she had no choice but to be like this because the man standing in front of her was the dangerous man in the country and based on the rumors she heard about him, he is not the kind of person to forgive his offenders easily. Unfortunately, she had happened to be in the list of his offenders, however, she was still surprised that she was alive up till today but seeing him being this nice suddenly made her worry. She would rather prefer it if he
“What-" " Eat first.” Damien cut her off again coldly, his voice was stern and firm leaving no room for argument. Eva grumbled under her breath before heaving a sigh of defeat at the stubborn man standing right in front of her. Damien peered intently and hard at her, patiently waiting for her to object to his words like she normally does, but to his surprise she didn't.Using her spoon, she scooped up a spoonful of soup and began to eat like an obedient little girl. The faster she eats this food under Damien's watching gaze the earlier she can get her phone. Seeing her inhale the food like it was air, Damien's gaze softened. She was finally eating and putting so much needed nutrition in her body. He took off his jacket and placed it on the back of the chair. He sat down and crossed one of his long legs over the other, then leaned back on the chair. His sitting posture was no different to Demon king that he was, with the bright chandelier light basking down on him.Damien planned to
" Speak." George interrupted her from speaking finish, with his lips twitching uncontrollably. ‘This silly brat can't even make an attempt to coax me knowing that I'm angry.’ George thought in his mind. Just now when he had picked her call and heard her address him ‘grandfather' he was taken by surprise because no matter how hard he tried to tell Eva to address him by that, she didn't listen. He thought that the first time might have been a mistake or slip of tongue but when he heard her calling him again the second time his lips arched up into a smile.Originally, he was furious and agitated that she had disappeared for the past three days leaving only trails of crazy and absurd headlines published about her, though her name wasn't mentioned in the headline but how could he not recognize his granddaughter being held by Damien when he saw the pictures on the internet which caused a long lines of wrinkles on his forehead.He was incredibly worried about her, especially when his privat
